Help with my Phal

I bought this beautiful Phal from Home Depot. It is flowering and a few buds.

I put it in a shower the first night I got it, and after a few days I noticed small white holes on some of the flowers.

It got worse and worse and I think I might have some kinda of bug that is eating the flowers.

I tried mild detergent not knowing that it might be toxic!!

I finally went back to Home Depot and get a 3 in 1 fungicide that has 99% Neem Oil.

I sprayed it on and drying it out now.

I am just wondering if those white spots that turned into tiny holes are caused by bugs or virus or are they flower burns?

My previous experience with Phal has not been a success. I didn't have enough air movement and too much water. The plant eventually developed fungi and root rot.

This time around I was very careful not to drown the roots and even have a humidity tray set up, but now I have all these holes in the flowers.

This is very frustrating. Please help.
